Due to attempted operation of the lock, while there was a build up of silt, one of the lock gates has now become damaged and the lock is no longer operational.
Our engineer will be on site today to carry out a full scope of the job and what needs to be done. Once a plan is made, we will then be able to update our website with a time scale of how long these works will take.
We will also still need our spot dredger to attend site and clear the remaining silt.
We understand the frustrations of our customers and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Due to the recent bad flooding we have experienced, there has been a large amount of silt build up, which is stopping the bottom gates from opening.
Our local team have been on site today, working hard to clear the silt away, however the job is bigger then we had expected.
We will now need a dredging boat to come down and clear the rest of the silt, to enable us to open the bottom gates again.
At this moment in time, we do not have a timescale for when the dredging boat will be on site, but as soon as we have more information, we will update the website accordingly.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may be causing.
